Don’t buy from dealers that are casual about guns? If someone is braking that many laws at a time, they’re a hazard. They’re brandishing over text. That’s up there with carrying too much, not following traffic laws, being loud, drinking and driving, using radio scanners, etc…
A good dealer will pull up in a Toyota cammery outside of InnOut, looking like your dad.
Some dealers will he also be legit, but rob people they don’t know. This would be the perfect way to have a gun out and rob them while they’re calm. You were dumb enough to show up; now you’re a target.
You seem really scared of drug dealers. Some of them might be involved with potentially very violent gangs, especially in certain areas, but that doesn’t mean you’re gonna get shanked as soon as you find out they have drugs or something like that.
Remember that a drug dealer’s main goal when interacting with potential customers is to sell them drugs and make some money. If you don’t pose a threat to them, it would be highly irrational for them to hurt you.
Also, it would only ever be even a little bit reasonable for a drug dealer to try mugging a customer if it meant they’d make more money than they lose; nobody will do business again with someone that mugged them.
This stuff would depend on your area, and there are some crazy people out there, but crazy people involved in loads of crimes generally don’t last long themselves before the police or someone else they upset get to them.
Killing people is also a very difficult thing. Most people don’t seem capable of murder, even if they like to make threats. I think there’s also a lot of work and planning involved if you want to ever get away with murder.
Bare in mind too that guns are quite normalised in the US compared to most other countries. Particularly in certain regions, having a gun in your house is normal and can be perfectly legal.
Obviously I would never intentionally do anything I knew was against the law, but just think about what people’s goals are and what they’d be likely to do. Most people are quite logical, and those that aren’t often end up in mental hospitals.
The vast majority of dealers are just regular people who happen to sell weed as a side job. Being willing to sell a plant that’s legal for the majority of people in the US and should be legal everywhere doesn’t imply being willing to rob you at gunpoint.
Never played the game. But, one gets quite an education in prison.

Nailed it. But, this audience doesn’t want the truth of things. They want to feel comfortable in their lukewarm understanding.
I suggest that you pick an individual worthy of your investment in real life. Or, if that’s not a thing, PM me and we’ll talk meta.
The “radical neoliberal” radically clings to the short term comfort of bandwagon neoliberalism. While their lives are more expensive and more comfortable than someone in effective poverty, both live effectively paycheck to paycheck.
Only if some event beyond the radical neoliberal’s control happens, such as getting fired, might they experience poverty and prison. If we tell them this truth it forces them to perceive how dangerous the unrestrained bull market is as it runs loose in our collective fiscal china store. That doesn’t at all align with the radical neoliberal’s current ideology: “Be shallowly psycologically comforted by DNC POTUS marketing material. Hostility is warranted in rejection of all that does not provide comfort.”
The experience of prison and poverty is prerequisite to the radical neoliberal’s understanding it. Hypothetical unwarranted imprisonment isn’t an ethical means to any end.
The only proactive and ethical means for anyone without experience to understand poverty and prison is empathetically in the context of an existing relationship.

Fuck this take, if you’re buying weed and the dude tells you he has a gun out then fuck off and go somewhere else.
I mean I’d much rather the dude didn’t have a gun or threaten me, but I don’t really live in an area like that.
(Edit for clarity: I don’t live in the sort of area where someone would be likely to be threatened by a drug dealer)

I know there’s red flags but he includes a free dab with the purchase :(
But they’re braking the law, it can stop them.

I would rather just not hang out with stoners and dealers
